Mountain Climbing
By: Will Right
Kate and Jack stood at the top of the high mountain looking out to
the horizon. Far far off they could see the ocean maybe 300 miles away
to the West. Ridge after ridge was laid out like a giant old fashioned
wash board. Some of the peaks had snow on top but this peak was bare.
They were far above the tree line and the mountaintop was nothing but
barren rock. The sky was a deep blue, almost black. It was as if they
were the only 2 people on Earth. It had taken nearly 4 days to get up
here from the small village of El Coy and they practically were the
only people within miles. They dropped their packs and sat down on the
cold mountain to rest. Jack put his hand around Kate and Kate laid her
head on his shoulder. "I love you." He told her. "I love you too." In
answer he kissed her. They kissed harder then started to touch each
other. At 20,000 feet it was far too cold to be nude so they made love
still fully dressed in cold weather cloths. She'd worn men's pants and
this made things easier. It has hard having sex with so little oxygen
and they had to take many breaks but after they finished they laid
together. They looked off to the west and saw the storm coming. "Come
on Kate we sure as hell don't want to be up here when that thing
hits." Kate said. "Yea we need to get down to base camp. Quickly they
started down. They had climbed down for a half-hour when it happened.
The sky was getting dark as the storm rolled in and pressed them to go
faster and faster down the steep mountainside. Jack stepped on a lose
rock and when it slipped he lost his balance. Hi heart leapt and he
windmilled his arms to catch his balance. He stabilized and gave Kate
a little smile. She just started to tell him that they needed to slow
down when the rock gave way. It happened in slow motion. She was
looking at Jack and his great smile. She saw a snowflake falling
between them. Then like some horrible nightmare he seemed to get
shorter. His smile disappeared then she saw his arms fly up in an
effort to catch himself. Then he was gone. She saw him falling
crashing into the rocks again and again "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" she
cried out and started down after him. She was careful not to fall
herself, watching where she put each foot. He crashed onto a ledge far
below but he had finally stopped. He lay on his back but that was all
Kate knew. Then to her relief he moved his hand. HE WAS STILL ALIVE!!!
By the time she reached him it was snowing. He had some bad cuts to
his face, his nose looked broken. His arms seemed of and he was awake
and lucid. Then she saw his leg. It was horribly twisted, the foot
facing the wrong way. Her heart sank. There was no way she could get
him out by herself and it was 3 days to help. By the time she got
back, even if she flew back by chopper it would be a body recovery. It
would have been better for him to have died outright. They both knew.
They talked a while. Finally Jack said "Kate you got to go. There is
no point in both of us dyeing." Kate cried but knew it was true. She
kissed him for the last time and then said goodbye. She could not stop
crying as she started down on her own. God, "on my own" She'd known
Jack from the time they were 5. They had been best friends the entire
time growing up. When they were 13 they started calling each other
boyfriend-girlfriend, at 14 they had made love together for the first
time. They had both been virgins and neither had ever slept with
another person. All through high school everybody said they would
marry. They had planned on it in fact. The wedding was scheduled for
June as soon as they both finished collage. Now that would not happen.
Her life partner, her sole mate, was going to die alone on a
mountaintop in Argentina, 1000's of miles from home. "Like hell he
will!" Kate said aloud. She stopped crying, her decision made. She
turned around and climbed back up the mountain to where Jack lay. He
was cutting off his clothing to speed the process of freezing to
death. He was in pain and did not want to suffer more than necessary.
Kate pulled off her jacket and tossed it as far as she could. Jack saw
her coming back. "Kate go. Don't be stupid!"
"I can't let you die alone" she said as she pulled off her sweater.
"I love you. You're all I have." She pulled off her thick top and then
her thermal under top. The cold air bit her skin.
"Kate I'm not going to let you stay. You'll die."
"Would you leave me?" Jack knew he would not. Finally he agreed to
let her stay. She helped him undress and when they were both totally
naked she mounted him. Up and down she rode. He felt wonderful inside
her. She threw back her head and cried out. Then he came inside her
filling her with his seed. She collapsed onto him and they held each
other. "I'm so cold" Kate said. They shivered for a while. The cold
attacking their bare skin like a million knives. Their cloths were
long blown away by the wind they laid together. "I love you" They both
said it at the same time. They laughed but said no more. Their love
was far beyond the need for words. Soon they seemed to become warm.
They both stopped shivering. They were not really getting warm, their
bodies were shutting down. They died together. The dry cold air
mummified their bodies and they were found 500 years later by a future
archeologist. It was a mystery to them. He was obviously hurt, unable
to walk but she was uninjured. His penis was still inside her vagina.
This was odd. In 1999 they didn't do rituals like this in this part of
the world. What was even more odd was they were both of European
decent. They were probably from the country called the United States.
They tried to piece together what had happened. Why had the woman been
forced to stay with the man like that? Very odd.
